This guy appears to have made a blend of DU, Kos, Atrios and a dash of Andrew Sullivan, chugged it down and regurgitated the whole mess as a blog entry. According to the line at the bottom the writer is a "freelance writer and publisher (!) of The True Facts." Well, he's not just a writer, he's a publisher. Yes, I'm a publisher too. I publish via Blogger and distribute via the interweb. I am a global publishing and distribution company. Hear me roar. At least he's modest enough to call his blog "The True Facts". Good to know. Better than the false ones. The name alone smacks of "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
